STREET RAILROADS.

The City Council is wrestling with the
question Of street railways for Butte, or
rather with the question as to whom the
franchise shall be given. 1t is not in the
province of The MINER to say who should
have it, Or whether anyone should have it,
or whether it is worth having. The Council
and the applicants for. the franchise are the
ones to determine those matters.
Nearly every city in the United States OF
the size and Importance of Butte has it's
street railways. They are paying enterpris-
SEES, or they would not be built. They are
convenient means OF transportation to the
travelling public, or they wouldn't be pat.
ronized. These are self-evident facts. In
the matter Of railways in the city it's inter-
ests in those enterprises are bounded by an
area limited to q little over 1873 acres.
Within that area the City Council can
grant the required right of way. Beyond
that it has no Jurisdiction. and it is ques-
tionable whether the County Commission
ers have authority to condemDthe public
highway for railway purposes. Therefore,
if it is the purpose OF the company which
shall obtain the franchise to extend the
track to the depot at the south and to
Walkerville at the nor5h, it must seek it's
right of way from parties owning the ground
CD the proposed line. This may be easily
obtained. or it may not.
Some time ago a gentleman in the city,
an Eastern company, made a
to build street railways
the city and to the north and
south points named, but when he learned
that no franchise could be obtained beyond
the city limits the matter was dropped. It
is possible either Of the applicants for the
franchise may see their way clearer-to the
depot at least.
Street railways are becoming necessary
to the business of cities. Helena,
with only about half the population of
and it's suburbs, has a well-patron-
zed line. There is no apparent reason
Why a well-conducted one would not pay a
air interest on the Investment here.

Experiments i'm GastrOnOmy.

1t is well known that many birds and
beasts are unpalatable at certain times
of the year, owing to the food they ear.
On the other hand, it Is proved that the
canvas-back duck, the most del cious
morsel known to mortal palate. owes
its exquisite aroma entirely to the so
called wild celery on which 1t feeds in
the Chesapeake bay, for if the same bird
is killed in the state of New York, or in
New jersey, it's flavor is not superior to
that of other ducks. Again, the flavor
of Congo chickens is described by an
African tourist as being Of peculiar ex-
cellence, and he adds that these chick
ems are fed almost exclusively on pine
apples. Why should not the principle
here involved be applied in system
attic manner? BY rearing poultry and
other animals on food of a special fra
GRANGE this quality might be impaired
to their meat, and the producers, like
certain wine-growers, might make for
tunes by securing an international rep
utation for the excellence of their spec
ial pyramids" Such original instances (
flavor would not only delight the cpl
cures, but stimulate anew the tagging
appetites of invalids, prove potent
weapon in combating the most prevail
ent Of modern disorders, dyspepsia, be-
sides opening wide field for the exer-
else of human ingenuity and creating n
new industry.-The Contempory Re-

A Rare Case.

The New York World once published
an inquiry from a correspondent who
stated that on coming to this country
he was vaccinated on shipboard against
his protest and with the result of ruin
ing his health. Therefore he wrote to
know If there was any remedy for this
great wrong. Who could he sue for
damages? And the World replied there
was no remedy, no one to hold respon-
sible for this greatest o: assaults on
ones personal liberty-an assault on
life itself, inasmuch as the blood of the
complainant, has, as he was informed
by competent physicians, been irretriev-
ably damaged by impurities vaccinated
into him. In view of the irreconolable
differences among provaccinators as to
ways and means, and of the serious re-
suits daily following the use Of double
edged tool In the hands of men who
confessedly do not know how to avoid
doing damage with 1t, our present
quarantine regulations constitute the
worst form of tyranny and should be
materially modified.-Dr. Foots Health

No? Well, you ought to know him. The

in our part Of the country. He also has
a good orchard. Last week he was at
me to buy some of his apples; said he
had more in his cellar than his family
could use, and offered to sell'em reas-
enable. So bought four bar'l, an last

Not he. It's the Lords Day. says he,
AN you can't take no apples out o. my
cellar on the Sabbath. You'll have to
come after 'em tomorrow or same day,
besides Sunday. So the next day my
wife sent wagon after the apples. And
what dye suppose? When | got home
an opened up the bar'l | found the
meanest, rottenest lot of apples ever
you laid eyes on. Not one-tenth part
of 'em was fit for use at all, an the old
Deacon who was too good to let bari

must have known it, for the top layer
ofevery barl was good apples. Since
